Bilateral Agreements

Covers significant bilateral trade and investment agreements including FTAs, CECAs (Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreements), and Economic Partnership Agreements. Key deals: India-UAE CEPA (2022, India's fastest-ever FTA), India-Australia ECTA (2022), India-UK FTA (under negotiation). India negotiated 12 FTAs between 2014–2024 after a decade-long pause. An India-EU FTA is ongoing. Critics argue India has been selective — avoiding FTAs with China and a few ASEAN partners.
